Instead of ruining cards and making them 100% unplayable, Blizzard can perform soft nerfs and buffs to balance the game. Everybody knows they are breaking Classic cards such below and creating overpowered cards in new adventures or expansions to make new cards necessary and make classic cards unplayable garbage. I think, it's just an easy way..

So, here my nerf and buff list guys:

• Ancient of Lore -> 6 Mana 5/5 with same effects.
  • Compare with Azure Drake (neutral, rare, also have spell damage) and Darkshire Alchemist (priest, common)
• Starfall -> 5 Mana. Choose One - Deal 2 damage to all enemies; or deal 5 damage to an enemy.  (Not only minions, now it can be used on hero too.)
  • Compare with Consecration (paladin, free, 4 mana) and Fireball (mage, free, 4 mana)
• Equality -> 3 Mana. Same effect.
  • It's basically AoE version of Hunter's Mark which is 1 Mana like Holy Smite or Arcane Shot. While their AoE version Volcanic Potion is 3 Mana, Equality also has to be 3 Mana. With Wild Pyromancer, it's basically Twisting Nether; with Consecration its 100% board clear except Deathrattles.
• Blade Flurry -> 3 Mana. Same effect. 
  • Probably, it still will be unplayable because there is no good weapon buff in Rogue except Deadly Poison which nobody plays in current meta.
• Priestess of Elune -> 5 Mana 4/4 with same effect. (Currently unplayable in any game mode.)

• Backstreet Leper-> 2 Mana 3/1 with same effect. (Currently unplayable in any game mode.)

• Felguard -> 3 Mana 4/5 or 3/6 with same effect.
  • Compare with Fierce Monkey (warrior, common), Sen'jin Shieldmasta (neutral, free). Destroy a mana crystal have huge tempo loss except you have 10 Mana.
• Spirit Claws and Cogmaster's Wrench -> Both should be 2 Mana with same effect. They have nearly same effect, but one is 1-Cost common and the other is 3-Cost epic. [NERF announced]

• Flamewreathed Faceless -> 4 Mana 7/7 with Overload: (3)
  • Compare with Earth Elemental (same class, epic).

• Drakonid Operative -> 5 Mana 5/5 with same effect.
  • Compare with Netherspite Historian and other dragon-synergy cards. 
• Purify -> 2 Mana. Silence a minion instead of friendly minion.
• Power Word: Shield -> 1 Mana. Restore a minion to full health instead of +2 Health.
  • Purify and PW:S relation is just stupid. PW:S 1 Mana cycle + bonus health + can be used on enemy; but Purify 2 Mana; cannot be used on enemy and its neutral effect (nor positive neither negative). They both should be changed.
• Ironbeak Owl -> 3 Mana 2/2 with same effect.
• Keeper of the Grove -> 4 Mana 2/3 or 3/2 with same effect. 
  • Compare with Spellbreaker (neutral, common) and Kabal Songstealer.
• Millhouse Manastorm-> 2 Mana 4/4 Battlecry: Next spell your opponent casts next turn cost (0).

• Succubus and Totem Golem 's stats should be swapped. Discard has higher drawback then Overload: (1).
  • Succubus - 3/4
  • Totem Golem - 4/3

• Kor'kron Elite -> 4 Mana 4/2 with charge. This card is one of best Charge minions in the game.

• Ravaging Ghoul-> 3 Mana 3/3 Battlecry: Deal 1 damage to ALL minions. (including himself)

• Arcane Golem -> 3 Mana 4/5 with same effect. Give your opponent a Mana crystal just for +1 Attack is unplayable.

• Silvermoon Portal -> 3 Mana with same effect.
• Maelstrom Portal -> 2 Mana with same effect and Overload: (1).
  • Compared with Arcane Explosion and Twilight Flamecaller.
• Krul the Unshackled -> 7 Mana 5/5 with same effect. Its stat values same but lower cost. At least, it can be played in some decks, now. 
  • Compared with Raza the Chained and Inkmaster Solia.
• Molten Giant -> 22 Mana with same effect. (It's currently way too hard to achieve 0-Cost unlike Arcane Giant)

• Small-Time Buccaneer ->
  • First option: 1/2 with Battlecry: Gain +2 Attack if you have a weapon. It gives permanent bonuses, but at least it won't be played at turn 1. (without Coin + Upgrade!)
  • Second option: no "Pirate" tag.
  • [NERF announced - it become useless.]

• Firelands Portal -> 8 Mana, Deal 5 damage. Summon a random minion that costs equal to damage dealt. 

• Holy Wrath -> 4 Mana with same effect. (It's currently too weak and RNG-based)

• Blessed Champion -> 4 Mana with same effect. (Its current manacost is too high)

• Avenging Wrath -> 6 Mana, deal 9 damage instead.

• Starving Buzzard -> 4 Mana 2/3 with same effect. (Reviving the old buzzy)

So, what are you guys thinkin ?

What about Small Time Buccaner? At the moment it's a Flame Imp that summons Patches. Maybe give it 1 less attack or take away it's pirate tag.

 I would like to see Millhouse works!! 

Nice topic bro!

How is ravaging ghoul changed?

These kind of threads were mostly filled with bullshit, but your suggestions are great, just like i thought about balancing cards. Good job!

But sadly blizzard don't care about balancing cards much, they just cycle the crown among classes (paladin, shaman, priest, next one rogue probably).

Not every card in the entire game needs to be competitive and playable, and making changes affects other cards in ways I think you haven't considered, and restricts your future ability to create cards.  

That is to say, I disagree with all of these.

**Compare with Fierce Monkey (warrior, common), Sen'jin Shieldmasta (neutral, free)

Ravaging Ghoul-> 3 Mana 3/3 Battlecry: Deal 1 damage to ALL minions.

Arcane Golem -> 3 Mana 4/5 with same effect.

 

So, what are you guys thinkin ?

 

 

I don't get some of your changes like starfall, which you made literally op. The fact is that it costs five because having options is worth something, really the card should have a damage up on the single target effect, but at four mana it is better consecrate. This kind of basic misunderstanding is blizzard never listens

I mean, the suggestions are fine, but I just don't see the point, bad cards don't hurt the game in any way.

Full ack! Equality don't need to be nerfed. 

Most of your "balances" are useless.

I agree with almost all of it, except from Equality and Starfall.

I would also like to see Novice Engineer go back to 1/2. 

And maybe Starving Buzzard changed to 4 mana? (Too strong?).

Nice suggestions anyway.

Updated based on comments.

Honestly many of these seem really legit, I'd argue against Equality being changed, but other than that most of them are reasonable, especially since it's true that many of these are just never played at all because they just suck.

concluding.

OP target most of the aggro card and burn card to Nerf same with the salt threads that we see every day. OP just hide the true agenda (Nerf all aggro so greedy deck is playable). this kind of player always target aggro, otk, burn to nerf because its stop the greedy game plan. they dont care about other class. they agenda is buff all control card(easy win condition. ie drop every legendary starting from turn 7,Krul the Unshackled buff effect suggest by OP. auto win condition vs control and aggro if enemy dont have board clear) and remove & Nerf all aggro

the only different is OP add the unplayable card to buff. Some idea is quite good but most of them over Nerf & buff. Will become unplayable or too powerful

Reasonable.

• Ironbeak Owl 
• Keeper of the Grove
• Drakonid Operative 

Aggro & burn hater over Nerf request

spirit claw 1-3 2 mana with conditional 3-3 is really weak. Compared with jade claw.

fireland portal quite balance. 8 mana will over cost.

Maelstrom Portal over nerf. only good with spell totem. 

Small-Time Buccaneer unplayable. drop turn 1 =no value. drop turn 3= trash card vs control

Kor'kron Elite=over nerf can easy board clear by volcanic potion and cannot trade with 1 drop in the meta

Random bulf and nerf to hide true agenda

prince aluna still unplayable

Ravaging Ghoul,Arcane Golem  and Equality = bad  suggestion

overBuff control card

Krul the Unshackled (ie: mulligan all demon in hand, skip 5 turn by tap and use some board clear, turn 6 auto win if opponent using aggro deck or fail to answer big board) over buff

Silvermoon Portal= secret paladin may become OP.

Millhouse Manastorm- too OP .2 mana 4-4 . over buffs will encourage the 20 legendary+10 spell deck with is very idiot deck to play with. Reno deck zero chance to win. aggro also stay zero chance when all the aggro get Nerf

Excellent suggestions. Some I don't agree with, but mostly on-point. For example, Krul needs to be expensive because if it brings out two Doomguards, two Pit Lords, Mal'Ganis and Jaraxxus, it's at least turn 9 and not turn 5. If you want a cheaper Krul, it should be a completely different effect, such as "Remove the Battlecries of all demons in your hand."

Sadly, it's not like Blizzard will read this. You should put this somewhere that gets a lot of community attention, like Reddit or the official forums.
